Hi, I'm currently using the Samsung keyboard. I usually use Swiftkey, but since Keys Cafe was introduced, I've switched over to the Samsung keyboard. For thy most part, I'm OK with it. But I noticed there's some wasted space that just takes up valuable room on the display. The part of the keyboard I'm talking about is the predicted word area. The space above and below the predicted words are not evenly spaced. And the font size of the predicted words is too small for the space.  I'd like to suggest to the developers to shorten the height of that area, and make the space above and below the predicted words the same. And then increase the font size to fill that space more evenly. Also increase the font size of the special characters in each key. Take a look at the screenshot comparisons to see what I mean about the wasted space, and uneven space above and below the predicted words. The Samsung is the grey/yellow one, and the Swiftkey is the blue/white keyboard. These are small details that make the user experience feel more polished.

I agree. Sometimes, when I'm filling a form on a website, and try to locate the submit button, it's buried behind the keys.
I choose to not autocorrect, not show predictive texts(cuz they are hardly helpful, instead it shows weird suggestions, passwords etc.,), no numeric line cuz i can long press a key that number or character is printed on. This helps save a lot of space, and makes typing pleasant overall.
